How to add data in database for updating processes which have a task with a new input parameter in BPM Suite 6?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite (BPMS) 6.4.x

Issue

  • How to add data for updating processes which have a task with a new input parameter in BPM Suite 6?
  • There are some migrating processes which now have a TASK with a new input parameter. The application use case expects for that value to proceed and the process is already waiting for that task to be completed.
  • Is there a way to update task input parameter's data directly in taskvariableimpl table?

Resolution

It is not recommended and supported to perform changes directly in database. TaskVariableImpl table is for auditing purposes, it will make it seem like the variable is there (for anything that is depending on the audit data for this), but actual task inputs are stored as binary Content data link from the task data.

It will be improved in BxMS 7 as it has already implemented an admin service that does support this.
